What is a an atlas?

atlas means HEAD OF THE FAMILY thus first cervical vertebra is called an Atlas

Because that would be racist.....if you are not white that is. It's called Race Fraud and it's getting VERY old.

A picture of the mythical Greek hero Atlas carrying the earth on his back was often used on the title pages of early map collections, and the name Atlas now denotes a volume of maps.

An Atlas shows the maps of the world. and it shows where the locations are and the states the countries it even shows how many miles and population it has,

it's a book that you can use to find maps with lines of latitude and longitude
